SauceControl

Enterprise traceability.
Startup pricing.

Katana charges $249/month extra for lot tracking that still isn't FSMA 204 compliant. Wherefour won't show you pricing until you sit through a sales call. We're $349/month, published on our website, full traceability included — because we only build for food manufacturers.

The "Price Equals Quality" Fallacy

Legacy ERPs charge thousands a month. But you aren't paying for better food traceability—you're paying for their technical debt.

Customization Bloat

Old ERPs were built for car parts and clothing, too. They charge you massive "implementation fees" just to hide the menus you don't need and force the system to understand what a recipe is.

Funding Sales Teams

When you pay $50,000 a year for software, a huge chunk of that goes to the commission of the enterprise sales rep who sold it to you. We'd rather invest that money into making the software faster for your floor workers.

Expensive IT Overhead

Legacy ERPs were built for on-premise servers and desktop clients. Hosting them in the cloud doesn't make them modern — it just adds a cloud bill on top of the maintenance cost, which gets passed to you.

The SauceControl Advantage

Lean, modern engineering means enterprise-grade tracking without the enterprise price tag.

Zero Implementation Bloat

Because we only build for food makers, our system natively understands batch scaling, yield variations, and allergen segregation out of the box. No expensive IT consultants needed to set it up.

Savings Passed to You

No on-premise servers, no enterprise sales team, no implementation consultants. Our cost structure is built for subscription SaaS from day one — which is why we can offer food-specific traceability at a fraction of what legacy systems charge.

Always Audit-Ready

Your formulation data is your most valuable asset. We use bank-level encryption and automated cloud backups to ensure your records are secure and instantly available during an FDA inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does SauceControl cost?
SauceControl costs $349/month, with pricing published openly on our website. There are no implementation fees, no per-seat upsells for core traceability features, and no hidden charges. A free trial is available — no sales call required to get started.
How does SauceControl compare to Katana for food manufacturers?
Katana charges $249/month extra for lot tracking that still isn't FSMA 204 compliant. SauceControl is built specifically for food manufacturers — not adapted from general manufacturing software. FSMA 204-compliant lot traceability, recipe-based COGS calculation, and yield tracking are all included at $349/month with no add-ons required.
Is SauceControl FSMA 204 compliant?
Yes. SauceControl tracks Traceability Lot Codes (TLCs) at every Critical Tracking Event (CTE) — receiving, production, and shipping — and stores all required Key Data Elements (KDEs). You can generate a compliant sortable spreadsheet report in under 2 minutes.
How long does it take to implement SauceControl?
Most food manufacturers are fully operational within a week. Because the system is purpose-built for food production, there's no expensive customization or IT consultant engagement required. Set up your ingredients, recipes, and locations, and you're ready to start tracking. Onboarding support is included.
Does SauceControl integrate with QuickBooks?
Yes. SauceControl syncs with QuickBooks Online. Purchase orders, inventory adjustments, and COGS data flow automatically between the two systems, eliminating double-entry and keeping your accounting records in sync with your production records.
What size food manufacturer is SauceControl designed for?
SauceControl is built for small to mid-sized food manufacturers — typically businesses with 1–50 employees producing batch or recipe-based products. This includes hot sauce and condiment producers, specialty food brands, beverage manufacturers, snack companies, and similar operations.
